I always loved going to the country, the beautiful skies the clean air and the sites are just to die for I can't help it I'm a nature guy. Living in the city was not bad I loved it, I'm a city guy at heart but it was always exciting to go down to the country and you might be thinking what a 19-year-old virgin like me loving the country nature instead of just partying and spending time with a girlfriend? Like a normal teenager my age, well to answer that.
One I hate party's I'm shy I've always been shy and I don't like being around strangers, I feel like they just watching me waiting for me to make a mistake and make fun of me and they're always getting drunk and talking about there 'sexy babes' (I never liked calling a girl a babe just sound degrading) I prefer to just hold up in my room and read or game and two I have no girlfriend not since my ex.
Nicole, a pretty girl but she was a bitch who ended up cheating on me and left me for another, it was fucked up...but That's the fuck up world we live in, but anyway it summer holiday I'm sitting in my room on my bed thinking, we all have a week off from college and I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my holiday? I would probably just stay inside and do all the stuff I liked, trying to get my mind of my Ex but then my phone buzzed to life on the table, I picked it up, curious to who it was.
"Hello? Ryan speaking."
"Ryan honey how are you sweetheart."
I instantly recognize the voice it was my grandma she retired with my granddad and both live in the country they have lived there in the same house for as long as I could remember and it was always exciting to go down there and visit them with either my mum or dad, they used to live in the city and work there and when they had enough they wanted to retire to the country simple as that.
"Nan how are you I didn't expect you to call, is there something wrong?" I said with a bit of worry in my voice they never called so it had to be something to get a call from them.
"Oh sweetheart we're all fine you worry too much I hear from your mum that you got the week off for summer so I was wondering if you wanted to visit us? You don't have too but it was just an idea, getting out of the dorm and bring over your new girlfriend you told us about."
"Err Nan me and Nicole broke up, I should have told you but...I was in a lot of pain and just wanted some time to myself," It was true my pride (what little I actually had) was badly damaged, I felt like the world was against me and...It hurt it been a month since then but I'm just want to be locked up in my room not wanting to see or do anything.
"Sweetheart I'm sorry still I think you should come over you can tell us what happened with us just to get it off your chest and I remember how much you love the countryside so this might be good to clear your head."
Huh, that doesn't really sound like a bad idea, going down there clearing my head, seeing the sites and seeing my grandparents sounds like fun...But not the part of telling them what happened, should I tell them the truth of what happened or just give some short explanation of 'we didn't get along any more' type thing, but then why lying to them? God I hate this, I hate when my mind fights itself like this.
"Sweetie you still there?"
I returned back to reality.
"Yeah Nan I'm still here and you know what screw it I'd love to come and see you and granddad, college has been a pain I'll come down on Monday I'm off and take the bus that runs from here to there and meet you at the bus stop."
"Wonderful I will get Richard to get the spare room set up and I will pop down town for some nice leg of lamb to help you get over your girl."
God Nan leg of lamb roast was god tier level of amazing deliciousness (is that even a word?).
"Epic I see you soon Nan got to go and pack."
"Ok, then sweetheart see you soon message us when you're on the bus ok?"
"Ok bye Nan say hi to granddad."
"Bye sweetheart and I will."
I ended the call there this will be great I thought to myself going down there will be perfect to get her out my mind, open fields, fresh air god I can't wait I immediately started to pack grabbing my electronics, my laptop, iPad with Kindle app and clothes and of course all the other bits to take with me including my camera too 'of course' take pictures with this is what I need I said to myself this is what I need.

The bus journey was long and boring but I didn't mind, it was just nice to be out of the city and relax with my suitcase and duffel bag between my legs there just something peaceful about just sitting in a bus looking outside and just watching the world go by changing from one landscape to another from the busy chaos of city life to the calm and almost silent fields of the countryside, god when I retire I'm probably do the same as Nan and Granddad the only problem is finding what I want to do with my life, I don't really have any passions or dream job or nothing like that so with that I start to stress about the future but quickly forget it stating I would just roll with it and see where life takes me.
I'm not normally all 'I go where the wind takes me' type of guy, I liking having a system and working my life around it I like to be busy doing something as long as that something was away from people...People confuse and scare me I guess that's the reason I'm so shy it so easy to fuck everything up that's why I keep my distance, I could just be paranoid, I know there are nice people out there but there also many many that are just ready to fuck up your life e.g. my ex...God I should stop thinking about her as those thoughts came to an end I arrived at the bus stop I needed to get off.
Arriving at sunset valley was written on the screen on the bus I grabbed my stuff and I immediately saw them, my grandparents Jesus it been a long time since I've seen them I got off the bus and I ran over to them with my bags and stuff tightly around my shoulders and hugged them tightly.
"Nan, Granddad god it been so long," I hugged them tightly "I missed you guys."
"We missed you too kiddo," said my Granddad Richard.
"Yes much too long, sweetheart," said my Nan Mary.
After the hugs we moved to the car I dumped my stuff in the boot of the car and got in, we made our way through the small town it was one street with lines of shops and bars with a big library, church and other buildings making this place feel..Cosy I liked it but I never spent time in town.
Sunset Valley was all mostly farms making and growing all you can think of anything to vegetable and fruits to livestock there was a bunch of big farms and ranches owning massive acres of land, there's a lot of tourism here too with a bunch of beautiful sites to see but I think the only reason why people would come here is for the people.
Girls ogling at the big tough cowboys making every girl turn into there slaves just to be with them (figuratively speaking) and guys staring and the unbelievable beautiful girls here with there massive tits and perfect asses and there body's even I couldn't help to stare at them I mean I'm a normal guy I can't help it and to all the lucky bastards that are able to date these girls would making anyone jealous, but I'm not in the mood to think about what these girls there probably enjoy messes with men's hearts ready to throw them away just...like...her...I need to stop having those thoughts there probably just nice normal people.
We came up to a house on the edge of town seeing it filled me with the childhood memories of all the time I spent there, whenever I had a school holiday my mum and dad would send me here to my grandparents to look after me, too say my parents are workaholics was an understatement they were always working my mum was a lawyer so she was always working on the next case her and my dad was a construction manager build office buildings and schools so with the stress of there important jobs they didn't really have time for...me, It got really lonely but I never held it against them there jobs are important I know they love me but life gets busy but I times I wonder if they choose work over me but learned at an early age to appreciate what I have and I did.
My parents were strict but loving they were afraid of me turning into some bratty kid milking them of all there hard earn money all they friends had kids and to be honest there shitty people all demanding stuff because their parents were rich, I didn't turn out like them but I did end I becoming sort of afraid of them when I did something wrong even if it was small it was major to them they never hit me or lock me but...They did scare me when I was told off and I guess maybe that was my shyness came from? I don't know but as I got older they have calmed down more.
We all got out the car I grabbed my stuff and we all headed to the house granddad opened the door it leads to a small hallway for shoes and coats we moved past and opened the door leading to an open living room it looked like it hasn't changed since I was last here which was back at Easter.
"Hey, Granddad did you set up the spare room?"
"Yeah, I did kiddo it all ready."
I nodded and made way up the stairs and down the hallway looking at family photos and landscape picture I entered the spare room, the room I always used when I was over, cosy and close to the Wi-Fi source perfect for my reading and using my laptop, I looked out the window and there was a massive field all flat until the forest at the end, god it was beautiful I quickly unpacked all my stuff and placed it on the bed and left heading downstairs my granddad was in his chair and my Nan was getting set for going out.
"Hey, Nan were you going?"
"Going to pop into town to get a few things to want to come with me? The town has changed a lot since you've last been here."
